Access to Account Funds
My husband left me and took me off our business account, then he took all our money from our personal account. He gave me his account number and PIN and I got into the business account and took $6,000 to live on. I had it transferred to my account which was still attached to the business account.
He tried to file charges, but the police said it was a civil matter and they wouldn't do anything. The bank has now frozen my account with all my money including $3,000 that was in there before the $6,000. They said there was a fraud case and there was a case number. The case number was from his report with the police. What can I do? I now have no money and can't live.

 If you accessed an account you did not have authority to do, you may have broken the law. The police evidently want you to handle it between yourselves. The bank however, wants to ensure that things are done according to permissions as they will have liability if you accessed money without the authority to do so. They could also press charges. They are attempting to organize the matter. We encourage you to cooperate with them.
If your husband owes you support, that is a matter between the two of you and potentially a divorce court. You should speak with an attorney and any organizations who may provide you with temporary assistance. Taking money from his accounts, from you have been removed, won't help your situation. Use the legal system as it is designed.
